Benoît Mandelbrot was a French-American mathematician, known for his contributions to mathematics and chaos theory, particularly through the development of fractal geometry. Born a Jewish Pole on November 20, 1924, he published his findings in the 1970 book 'Fractals: Forms, Chance and Dimensions,' followed by a more comprehensive version in 1977 titled 'The Fractal Geometry of Nature.' Mandelbrot worked as a mathematical physicist at IBM, where he developed fractal geometry to address noise problems in telephone wires.
